Minister in the Prime Minister's department Nazri Aziz cannot be faulted for not wanting to interfere in Singapore's legal process over the case of a young Malaysian facing the gallows in the republic, said renowned jurist and human rights expert Param Cumaraswamy.
Speaking to Malaysiakini, Param, a former UN special rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers, said that Nazri was often known for his "irrational public statements" yet in this case he could not be faulted as Malaysia and Singapore provided for the death penalty in their sentencing laws including making it mandatory for drug trafficking.
